FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MONRO MUFFLER BRAKE, INC. ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF TWO TIRE STORE CHAINS

~Acquisitions Expand Tire Store Footprint to Philadelphia and Northern Virginia~
~Acquisitions Will Add 19 Stores and $22 Million in Annual Sales~

     ROCHESTER, N.Y. — July 26, 2007 — Monro Muffler Brake, Inc. (Nasdaq: MNRO), a leading provider of automotive undercar repair and tire services, today announced that it is has completed the asset acquisition of Valley Forge Tire & Auto Centers (“Valley Forge”). Additionally, Monro has signed a definitive asset purchase agreement with Craven Tire & Auto (“Craven”) that is expected to close by the end of July.

     The acquisitions of Valley Forge and Craven will significantly strengthen and expand Monro’s Mr. Tire brand footprint. The Valley Forge and Craven chains are located primarily in the Philadelphia, PA and Northern Virginia markets, respectively. The combined purchase price of the two chains is approximately $16.7 million which will be funded primarily through the Company’s existing line of credit. The Valley Forge and Craven chains generated combined annual net sales of approximately $22 million in 2006. Together, Valley Forge and Craven will add 19 stores to the Monro chain, all of which management intends to operate under the Mr. Tire brand name. Management expects that the acquired stores will break even in the first twelve months of operation under Monro ownership. Further, it is management’s plan to retain the store employees of the two companies.

     “We are excited about the prospect of incorporating Valley Forge and Craven into our low-cost operating model,” commented John Van Heel, Executive Vice President and Chief Administrative

Officer of Monro. “These two transactions, which together generate annual sales equal to approximately 5% of Monro’s total fiscal year 2007 sales, not only fit with our stated strategy of achieving growth through reasonably priced acquisitions, but also serve to significantly expand our tire store footprint. In particular, we are pleased to implement our two-store format strategy in the Philadelphia market where we already operate 26 service stores, as well as grow our presence in Virginia, which is a developing market for us. Further, along with operational synergies, we believe that there is significant opportunity in these stores to increase sales in the tire and maintenance service categories, which are mainstays of our business and significant drivers of store traffic.”
